Olympus 75mm f/1.8 – First Impressions

My full review of the 75mm f/1.8 is now up. Head over there to take a look!

The Olympus 75mm f/1.8 arrived into the Admiring Light studios (i.e, my hands) yesterday. Took it for a short test spin, and it is quite the impressive optic, so far. It’s not perfect, but it’s darn, darn good. The lens is well built and feels great in the hand, and autofocus is very fast. I was even able to use C-AF to pretty good effect with this lens. Bokeh is nice and the images are quite sharp. I’ll be posting my full in-depth review in the coming week or two.
